I had a very small drip coming from the pinion seal. It must of been the original, because neither of the replacements have worked. The original had a larger seating surface and a gasket underneath. The replacements did not. The first replacement was generic so I figured when it leaked it was just a cheap seal. The second seal I used was a seal listed in my Avanti crossover book. It does the same thing. The yoke has no wear on it and I prefit each seal and they went on snug and I used a little grease on the yoke before I reinstalled it. Neither came with a gasket like the original had behind it. I actually tried to put the gasket (the old one) back on before installing the second seal but couldn't get it in there to where I would be confident it would stay in position when I tapped in the seal. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or where I can get one of these original seals? Thanks
